It’s official: one of MMA’s most iconic rivalries is making a comeback, but this time, it’s in the boxing ring. Quinton Rampage Jackson and ‘Suga’ Rashad Evans, two UFC legends and former light heavyweight champions, are set to face off later this year in Albuquerque, New Mexico. The announcement is confirmed for August 2025.

Rampage and Rashad’s bad blood dates back more than a decade, culminating in their clash at UFC 114 on May 29, 2010. The buildup to that fight was legendary, marked by fiery trash talk and an explosive coaching rivalry on The Ultimate Fighter.
